Due to unfortunate events, I had found myself falling in love with the superhero’s girlfriend, even as his enemy. I didn’t mean to, really.. she was just so sweet. So pretty. So funny. Absolutely perfect. I tried to push those feelings down, bury them deep where they couldn't cause any trouble.

But every time I saw her, my heart would skip a beat. We'd run into each other at the local coffee shop, and I'd find myself lingering, hoping to catch a few more minutes of her dazzling smile and sparkling conversation. We were great friends too, and she had no idea who I truly was. It was bad, but it’s not like I could fix anything now. I couldn’t focus on that now though, not yet. I had a job to get done that was important.

I was in my building watching the city closely through cameras. After stalking around until not too much people were out, it was now time to make the final move to finally get this damn superhero out of my hair. After planting bombs around the city that would go off with just the click of a button, I stood on the rooftop, my eyes scanning the city below. Now I waited for the superhero to arrive. As I adjusted my suit, I couldn't help but think of the superhero's girlfriend, the one person who had shown her kindness. The superhero landed in front of her, his expression a mix of anger and desperation.

I want your girlfriend. Trade her for the safety of the city. I spoke coldly. The superhero's eyes widened in shock.

You can't be serious. He said, his face turning pale.
